In the Chikarovski Cup, Wildfires lead the ladder on 19 points from five rounds, with Manly a game in hand and three points behind in second. Warringah, Two Blues, Souths, and Sydney Uni are all within striking distance in the middle of the table, making the next few rounds important for anyone looking to secure a finals position. In the Div 2 Cup, West Harbour and Campbelltown have been the two standout sides through the opening two rounds, both yet to drop a game. Norths Sirens and Randwick sit just behind on six points each, with the bulk of the competition tightly grouped heading into Round 3.
